Mongolian Beef

In my quest to continue to eat ethnic foods while on this Paleo path, I had yet to discover a Mongolian beef recipe that worked - one that had just the right combination of savory, spicy and sweet. Well, I think I've located it. The family devoured it so it's kid approved. I left out the red-pepper flakes for the kids but feel free to sprinkle them on top of yours if you like it as hot as I do!

Mongolian Beef

Ingredients

2 Tbsp avocado oil

½ tsp ginger, minced

1 Tbsp garlic, chopped

½ C tamari

½ C water

2 Tbsp molasses

¼ C coconut sugar

1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced

1 Tbsp arrowroot

4 green onions, chopped

1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions:

Dissolve coconut sugar in the tamari and the arrowroot into
the water.

Heat 2 tsp. of oil in a medium saucepan over medium/low
heat. Add ginger, green onions and
garlic to the pan

Add beef and brown for 1-2 minutes.

Add the tamari with coconut sugar, molasses, and water with
arrowroot

Increase the heat to medium and boil the sauce for 2-3
minutes or until the sauce thickens. Remove it from the heat. Sprinkle with red
pepper flakes if you like heat!
